==Usage==
This template is for use on [[Wikipedia: Category namespace|Category]] pages, to refer to the primary article associated with this category, which most of the time, describes the entire set containing the category.

<span style="font-size:1.125em; font-weight:bold">This template is not a replacement for adding a category to the main article.</span> The main article of a category should always have the category set. Furthermore, the main article should always have a space as [[WP:SORTKEY|sort key]] so that it appears on top of a category. Example: the article [[Internet]] should have the category <code><nowiki>[[Category:Internet| ]]</nowiki></code>.

Normal usage (uses category name for wiki link):
*{{tlx|Cat main}} → {{Cat main}}

If the name of the main article is different than the name of the category — for example: if the main article for [[:Category: Dead or Alive (series)]] is [[:Dead or Alive (franchise)]] — then you will need to use one parameter to specify the article:
*{{tlx|Cat main|Dead or Alive (franchise)}} → {{Cat main|Dead or Alive (franchise)}}

===Multiple articles===
Simply append more articles as additional arguments (up to five):
*{{tlx|Cat main|1 BC}} results in {{Cat main|1 BC}}
*{{tlx|Cat main|1 BC|2 BC}} results in {{Cat main|1 BC|2 BC}}
*{{tlx|Cat main|1 BC|2 BC|3 BC|4 BC|5 BC}} results in {{Cat main|1 BC|2 BC|3 BC|4 BC|5 BC}}

===Pages which aren't articles===
The template should automatically detect titles being outside the article namespace, but this may also be set manually:
*{{tlx|Cat main|WP:WikiProject|article{{=}}no}} → {{Cat main|WP:WikiProject|article=no}}
